Webfooter Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Even though the naming and company speak are somewhat eyerolling, all this really means is the NBA is relaxing its uniform policy. I can get behind this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were required to wear white at home a certain number of times, while wearing alternates a lesser number of times. Now, it sounds like it will be more like soccer with primary/clash uniforms.

DeFrank Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I'm here for these changes to home/road designations and don't really care how jargon-y they want to make it. This is a change that really does make sense for the NBA. Of the four major leagues, a proliferation of options and a breakdown of white/home color/road designations works best. This is what the manufacturers do. They overdo it. I've got to give them credit for overdoing it in a way that kind of actually makes sense. A white NBA jersey does say "professional" to me. A colored one does say "iconic" to each team to me. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then in that case have an alternate clash jersey like soccer does. This seems to be what the NBA is doing, and I am happy about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowld Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 This is incredibly cringe-worthy. Nike has taken corporate speak to a whole new level here. All I can do is laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a white jersey can be professional and iconic. See: Celtics, Bulls. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

IceCap Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 "Association Edition"? "Crispy Whites"? "Icon Edition"? Really? Really? "Home Uniform" isn't good enough anymore? For 's sake.

AstroCree Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I don't like this "teams can choose to wear whatever they want at home". I know it probably gonna lead to a bad same color vs color confusing matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
